HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 100% Pure L-Threonine by NutraBio

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This is a straightforward product: one active ingredient, L-threonine, an amino acid your body uses to build proteins and support nervous system function. There are no other active ingredients — just the threonine itself with no fillers added.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Threonine product and its label doesn't state a use — see Threonine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for L-threonine is mixed and limited. For ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), the data suggests it's probably ineffective.

For multiple sclerosis, familial spastic paraparesis, and spasticity, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works or not.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Threonine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Threonine from food is safe, but at the higher doses you get in supplements, safety hasn't been studied well. Headache has been reported, and some people experience mild stomach upset including diarrhea, gas, or constipation.

The safety notes advise caution in pregnancy and breastfeeding because supplement-level doses haven't been well studied in those states — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Threonine

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Threonine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • For scale: 3 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check this supplement if you take NMDA antagonists — threonine may weaken their effects. Use the medication checker on this page to verify your exact prescriptions before you start.

Nmda Antagonists

Theoretically, threonine might decrease the effects of NMDA antagonists.
Threonine increases central nervous system (CNS) glycine levels. Glycine seems to bind a site on NMDA receptors and enhance the activity of the receptors.

100% Pure L-Threonine by NutraBio: Common Questions

Does 100% Pure L-Threonine by NutraBio interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, 100% Pure L-Threonine has a known interaction with 3 medications, including 3 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
100% Pure L-Threonine contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is L-threonine and what does it do in the body?
L-threonine is an amino acid — one of the building blocks your body uses to make proteins and support nervous system function. This product is just that one ingredient in powder form, with no added fillers.
Does L-threonine actually work for ALS or multiple sclerosis?
For ALS, the evidence suggests it's probably ineffective. For MS, spasticity, and familial spastic paraparesis, there simply isn't enough reliable evidence yet to know whether it works.
Is L-threonine safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety notes say that threonine from food is fine, but supplement-level doses haven't been well studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're pregnant or nursing — they can give you personalized advice.
What side effects has threonine caused?
Headache has been reported. Some people also experience mild stomach upset — diarrhea, gas, or constipation. Overall, side effects appear uncommon, but higher-dose supplement safety hasn't been thoroughly studied.
Will this supplement interfere with my medications?
L-threonine can potentially weaken the effects of NMDA antagonist medications. Even if you don't take those, use the medication checker below with your exact prescriptions before you start — it only takes a moment and is the safest move.
